Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving gene editing techniques in a specific insect model that spreads Chagas disease, caused by parasites.
- Researchers tested methods to deliver CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tools to female insects' developing eggs and confirmed these methods led to successful changes in eye and cuticle color.
- The findings pave the way for future gene editing in this insect species, potentially aiding the development of new strategies to control Chagas disease transmission.
2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-chromen-4(3H)-one (called 6-oxo) is presented as a new AI-1 quorum sensing inhibitor for Vibrio harveyi. The development of a chemical process to afford traceable materials for new biological assays demands the development of analytical methods to ensure their purity and quality. This work describes the use of quantitative H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (qNMR) to assess the purity of a sample of 6-oxo (99.

Recently, Rickettsia sp. strain Atlantic rainforest has been associated with new human spotted-fever (SF) cases in Brazil, featuring particular clinical signs: eschar formation and lymphadenopathy.
